Toast with the Most — Sourdough Toast Night for a Crowd
Toast with the Most started with a fresh loaf of Pearl’s sourdough and a refrigerator full of toppings — and it turned into one of the most fun dinners we’ve had in a long time. I had just baked a couple of gorgeous sandwich loaves from Pearl’s prettiest bake yet, and I could not let all that beautiful sourdough go to waste. So toast with the most it was — everyone picks their own toppings, builds their own toast, and there is zero complaining at the dinner table. That last part alone makes it my favorite Monday of the week.

Pearl is fed and baked with King Arthur Bread Flour — the flour she’s fed and baked with, and what makes her bread worth toasting.
How Toast with the Most Works
The setup is simple. I toasted thick slices of Pearl’s fresh sourdough, fired up the BELLA griddle for the fried eggs — and I have to be honest, I am not an expert at fried eggs. I cook them all the way through because that is the only way I know how, and apparently that is the only way my kids know how to eat them at home too. The griddle made it so easy to do multiple eggs at once, which is a total necessity when you are feeding a crowd. According to The Kitchn, there are actually several ways to fry an egg — but over-hard is a perfectly valid choice, and it is absolutely the Longstreth way.
Then I set out every topping I could think of: bacon, avocado, cheese, tuna salad, lettuce, tomato, Nutella, peanut butter, raspberries, strawberry jam, cinnamon sugar, and bananas. Savory on one end of the table, sweet on the other. Everyone built their own plate.
The Teenage Seal of Approval
Alex told me he loved dinner and it was really yummy. From a teenage boy, that is the highest praise in the land. I will take it every single time. Jason got the last two slices of his whole wheat sourdough from Free Willy 2’s recent bake, so he had his own Mediterranean-friendly version. Win win all the way around.
The whole thing came together in under 30 minutes, everyone was happy, and I used up Pearl’s fresh sourdough in the best possible way. This is the kind of dinner that sounds too simple to be special — and then you make it and the whole family gathers around the table and builds their plates together and you realize it is actually exactly that kind of dinner that matters most.
